JAZZ CLEAN
This amp type is based on a Hughes & Kettner rig that debuted back in
the '80s, specifically the clean channel of the ATS 112, which many jazz
guitarists still consider a benchmark for this style.
3.2 EFFECTS
The zenTera
®
offers an arsenal stocked with hip yet practical
effects for which the gigging guitarist will find plenty of use. In
addition to standard reverb, delay and modulation effects, the
archive also features emulations of classic stomp boxes (e.g. fuzz)
and vintage effect devices (e.g. tape echo devices).
An excellent spring reverb simulation is also onboard.
To learn more about the amp's effects offerings, check out
Chapter 6.1, PRE EFFECT MODE, and the tables depicted under
heading 11.1 in the appendix.

5.0 JACKS AND CONTROL FEATURES
5.1 OVERVIEW
The zenTera
®
's user panel is essentially divided into two segments,
the amp section and the effect section.
amp section effect section
The layout of the amp section should look familiar to you - it is
arranged much like that of an analog amp. The GAIN, BASS, MID,
TREBLE, PRESENCE and VOLUME knobs rotate to a far left and far
right position. You can dial in values of 0 to 10. Only the AMP TYPE
knob spins completely around.
The knobs of the selected amp type respond just like those on
the original model, which means that in this respect the zenTera
®
handles exactly like its analog forebears. In some cases, however,
it gives you additional tweaking options beyond those of the
original. This bit of icing on what was already a great cake is no
novelty feature. You'll find that the extra sound-shaping options
come in handy and that they make musical sense.
The effect section puts an array of delay, modulation and reverb
effects at your disposal. Here you'll find it easy to dial in
satisfactory sounds without a great deal of editing.
All effects can be switched PRE or POST preamp.
PRE is comparable to a stomp box that plugs into the front panel
input. The latter option taps into the stereo signal circuit located
before the power amp, giving you stereo effects.
5.2 THE ZENTERA
®
'S DISPLAY
The zenTera
®
's display responds immediately to each handling
operation and menu change. It always indicates the parameter
that you are currently editing and jumps to the next display as
soon as you activate another knob or menu. There's one
exception - the amp's master level (as determined by the
MASTER knob on the far right) is independent of all other settings.
Note that the master volume is not indicated in the display.
In standard display mode, the zenTera
®
indicates the name of the
preset, the number of its memory slot, the name of the amp
simulation as well as any effect blocks that you may have
activated. The following diagram should clear up any questions
you might have about what's what in the display.
Large numerical display:
number of the current preset (1 - 100, P1 - P28)
Top text line: name of the preset
Bottom text line: selected amp type
PRESET: It lights up when the amp is in the standard display mode. The
bar below PRESET illuminates when you edit a preset's settings.
INS-FX: It lights up if one of the PRE effects is activated for this preset. If
you elect to use a wah-wah, the bar below INS-FX lights up as soon as
the wah-wah is activated via the connected pedal. The bar lights up in
the usual manner for the remaining PRE effects.
DELAY: It lights up when one of the delay effects is activated in the pre-
set. If you choose to patch in the effect via the PRE circuit, the bar
below DELAY lights up.
MOD FX: It lights up when one of the modulation effects is activated in
the preset. If you choose to patch in the effect via the PRE circuit, the
bar below MOD FX lights up.
REVERB: It lights up when one of the reverb effects is activated in the
preset. If you choose to patch in the effect via the PRE circuit, the bar
below REVERB lights up.
When you edit one of the preset's parameters, say
W
BASS, you
will see the word BASS displayed in the lower text line and the
value indicated in the large numerical display. The bar below
PRESET will light up.
Note: To reset the amp to standard display mode after you've
edited a parameter, simply double-click
s
TUNER. Or you can
wait five seconds or so for the zenTera
®
to take a time out and
automatically reset to standard display mode.
